Newborn shoot in Battersea: Preview

Little Oscar had his moment in the spotlight last weekend at just 5 days new to the world.

Now, I don't know what it is with me and newborn shoots at the moment, but my last few newbies have been super alert and really into what's going on around them, and Oscar was no exception....He made me work hard for the sleepy shots.... but we got a few in the bag thankfully :)

Lucy, Mark & Oscar, great to see you all last week and I hope you enjoy these first few. L XXXX

Reigate 1 Year Photography: Preview

A VERY dark and rainy day in Reigate a few months back. Little Aimee is a super quick 14-month old and it was such a shame that because of the weather we couldn't go out to a local park for the shots....hoping to revisit in the next few weeks for take two! In the meantime, a few of the initial images x

At home in the greenhouse...

A rainy day in Wareham meant flower arranging for Amelia and Harry in the greenhouse...Enjoy Sarah & John!xxx

Rach & Deane's Wedding Blessing in St Albans Cathedral

I was recently able to take some photographs at the wedding blessing of some good friends in St Alban's Cathedral. This was a follow up to the intimate wedding they had in Italy back in June...which I still haven't got around to blogging...must do so soon! Perfect excuse for a second outing of the dress if ever I saw one. This was the first blessing I'd been to and it was such a lovely ceremony, and a great way for me to slowly get back into doing what I love after the stresses of the last month xxx

10 minute shoot in Esher

Holly's passport shoot in July... 'official' shot in the bag after a minute or two but of course it was difficult to stop clicking away with such gorgeousness in front of me.

...and of course Jack had to get in on the action, which Holly doesn't look too pleased about!

Newborn Photography in Surrey - Preview

Well....I am slowly starting to get back to work following an extremely upsetting and emotional month. Not quite feeling 'normal' just yet, but an dipping my toes back in to see how it feels. And I'm starting with this shoot with a beautiful newborn and her parents on a sunny Sunday in July. As always, some of my favourites...

Starstruck - J* Workshop in London

Back in April I was relaxing by the pool of the fabby Lucknam Park spa hotel in the Cotswolds when I almost fell off my lounger upon discovering that photographer Jasmine Star was coming to give a workshop in London. Now, I am a HUGE fan of Jasmine's and the thought of missing out this opportunity was enough to have me hot-footing it across to the main hotel (in my robe) to register.

.....And boy am I glad I did.

The course was all about the 8 principles of branding, of which J* is an expert! Suffice to say, it was HUGELY inspiring (I can't even begin to explain how amazing it was!) and I have lots of work to do to act upon my new found knowledge. So watch this space..... :)

One of the best parts of the course was meeting such an amazing group of fellow photographers, who I hope I will remain in contact with for years to come.

A small part of the day was devoted to shooting. Which was tricky because not only was I completely distracted by wanting to watch Jasmine in action, but I was also forced to shoot in Manual mode which is a whole different ball game to my comfort zone of Aperture Priority which I find lends itself so well to my fast paced baby photography

Check out how gorgeous Rachel and Dan are!
